recently been issued in poster and booklet forms.
The emphasis in both is on the predicted basis for colours for leather throughout the world to
match with anticipated fashions.
Warm sunshine, the sound of the sea beyond golden sand and the shade of a luxurious palm
tree could be the ideal spot for a young lady to dream of the warm sunny colours that will
take over from the previous winter, mixing with neutrals to bring a sense of being alive and
real optimism. No doubt it is the inspiration for the season’s poster.
Just as Stahl’s colours are lively, so too the names of the four groups, Fastfood, Fastgame,
Fastlife and Fastweb, give a sense of vibrancy and speed for the year of the next Olympic
Games.
Colours for the Fastfood group are inspired by nature. They are bright and warm. Red,
orange, green and yellow contrast with brown and cream, all in shades derived from spices,
vegetable, wood and other sources in nature. Dress styles are those of “old country” as seen
in the city, a feeling of retro British. Cuts and materials are new. Both matt and gloss give a
casual elegance to the sporty look. Mother-of-pearl may provide additional enhancement.
Fastgame moves into a world of almost primitive primary colours, the vivacious colours of
childhood. Blue is added to the spectrum. The trend is young and modern. A simple and
showy way of dressing leads into a world of playtime for adults and “small boys”. The
monochromatic colours are reminiscent of the 80s and, like then, they contrast with a pinkish
beige background and with black.
